FCDO statement on DPRK ballistic missile launch: 27 January
We are concerned by reports that North Korea conducted a further ballistic missile launch on 27 January.
Ballistic missile launches violate multiple UN Security Council resolutions (UNSCRs) and destabilise peace and security on the Korean Peninsula.
The UK continues to urge North Korea to stop provocations, to engage in meaningful diplomacy and return to dialogue.
